October 12, 2020- This Saturday, Sustainable Resilient Longmont (SRL) will host the 3rd annual Longmont Sustainability Awards event, to honor local environmental champions. Representative Joe Salazar will keynote the event, which will be held virtually via Zoom. Representative Salazar served in the Colorado State House from 2013- 2019. A civil rights and environmental law attorney, Representative Salazar is currently the Executive Director of Colorado Rising. He will be talking about climate change and the importance of grassroots activism to make a difference, and will offer insights into the looming court decision when Colorado Rising sued to reinstate Longmont’s fracking ban.
“We must take on the fight against climate change on multiple fronts. The work that Sustainable Resilient Longmont is doing at the local level truly makes a difference. Public education, awareness and community building is essential to make an impact on policy, regulation, and moving away from fossil fuels to a clean energy future,” said Salazar.
